Description
A layered haircut involves cutting the hair at different lengths to create texture and volume. Men's short layered haircuts can range from subtle layers to more dramatic styles, depending on the client's preference. Layered haircuts can also work for a variety of hair types, including straight, wavy, or curly hair.
How To
To cut men's short layered hair, you'll need a few tools, including:
- Scissors
- Clipper
- Comb
- Haircut Cape
- Spray Bottle
Before you begin cutting, make sure your client's hair is clean and dry. Wet hair can make it difficult to see the natural shape and texture of the hair.
Step-by-Step
Step 1: Section the Hair
Start by sectioning the hair into three parts: the top, the sides, and the back. Use clips to keep the hair in place while you work on each section.
Step 2: Cut the Sides and Back
Using a clipper, start at the bottom of the sides and work your way up. Use a comb to lift the hair as you go and cut the hair at an angle to create a layered look. Repeat this process on the back of the head.
Step 3: Cut the Top
Starting at the front of the head, comb the hair straight up and cut the hair at an angle to create layers. Work your way back to the crown of the head, making sure to blend the layers with the sides and back of the head.
Step 4: Blend the Layers
Once all the sections have been cut, use the scissors to blend the layers together. This will create a seamless transition between the different lengths of hair.
Step 5: Finish the Cut
Use the clipper to trim the hairline around the ears and the back of the neck. Use the scissors to trim any stray hairs and create a clean, polished look.
Tips
- Start with longer layers and work your way shorter to avoid cutting off too much hair.
- Use a mirror to check the haircut from different angles.
- Ask your client for feedback throughout the cutting process.
- Use thinning shears to remove bulk and create a more natural look.
